Methods and formulations for reducing bovine emissions

Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and formulations for reducing ammonia and carbon dioxide emissions from a bovine using lubabegron, or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof. The present disclosure also provides bovine feed additives and bovine feed compositions.

We claim: 
     
       1. A method of reducing one or more gas emissions selected from the group consisting of ammonia and carbon dioxide from a bovine comprising administering to said bovine lubabegron, or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the method increases bovine hot carcass weight. 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the physiologically acceptable salt of lubabegron is the hemifumarate salt of lubabegron. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein one or more other active ingredients are administered to said bovine, wherein said other active ingredients are one or more selected from the group consisting of monensin, tylosin, and melengestrol, or physiologically acceptable salts thereof. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said bovine is a cow. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said reduction is per pound of the weight of the bovine while still alive. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said reduction is per pound of hot carcass weight of said bovine.
